Amazing! It works wonderfully! Thank you so much Rog131! The shortcut (KDE service) was not working but I made the file with a simple shell command and now I have the aerial videos used for my lockscreen. It looks gorgeous!
I have looked for your link about KDE service but everything looks dated. I was looking for a way to confirm the path you typed (because I had to create the directory `ServiceMenus` So I was not sure it was the correct location but instead, in the documentation, it is referencing a command `kde4-config --path services` which outputs: `~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/`. And then I finally seen that it was only working for `Konqueror` (and I was using Dolphin). But again thank you for all this stuff! |

Current Dolphin is using KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5):  Current Konqueror is using KDE4 libraries:  The next KDE Applications release 16.12 will (probably) have the KF5 based Konqueror. With the KF5 the service path is:
So at here the service menus are looked at ~/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ and /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ Neon ? About Dolphin & Service Menus - 'Cobber' wrote at viewtopic.php?f=225&t=135525&hilit=dolphin+service#p362576
I don't use the Neon so I only can tell that at here the service menus are working without problems. |

In fact, I am using Archlinux and not Neon. So I just have to wait for the next release of KDE applications in order to be able to use these services. It's really the kind of thing which can make me save time.
So I think it is the same here. I will just need to wait for the next release. Where did you get all these information? I am just reading kde.org & dot.kde.org and I could never imagine that so much things were possible. |

@Rog131, I have noticed something annoying with the ramdom video player when used in the lock screen. The first time the videos are played everything is fine, but then, once the first videos are finished, the new ones comes and they are played a little less smooth, and then with the new ones after a little less smooth again...
And If I wait something like one hour, the videos are stucked and do not play anymore. And it becomes hard to type the password in order to unlock the session because there is so much latency. It looks like there is a memory leak or something... I could look for it this weekend but do you have any idea about what can cause that? |

Earlier - About error messages : viewtopic.php?f=289&t=131783#p362593 At here, with four clips:  Leaving the screen locked for one hour.... Everything seems to work without problems. Systemd journal is clean. Memory before:
After:
How many clips did you have ? Has the number of clips any impact ? Are the .xsession-errors, journalctl, etc. clean ? Have you recorded the memory usage during the screen locking ? |

Hello,
Thanks for your help! First, I am using all the videos from Apple Aerial things, so 35 videos. Then, I have a lot of different messages from my journalctl. I copy them to you here:
After looking for the memory usage, I did not find anything. Before:
After:
I will investigate again this week-end for the other information (error message on video, x-sessions errors, impact of number of clips, ...). But maybe with these messages you have already an idea? |

Well, a bit late but I tried running the video with `qmlscene`. I did not get any error output.
So I have no idea why it becomes slow. I just know I have these messages which spawn in the journalctl each time I lock my session for some times:
Has someone any idea? |

When things get slow:
Can you log in with the virtual terminal / console ? Is there high CPU load ? Are there free memory ? When searching with the 'kscreen: Requesting missing EDID for outputs': -> https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread. ... lfunctions => What kind of hardware do you have ? GPU ? Multimonitor ? Open/Proprietary drivers ? |

Hello,
The load average is low (1.30), each CPU is under 10%, I still have more than 6Gb memory free (with a total of 16Gb). Below:  My computer is a laptop connected through HDMI to another screen.
I am using a proprietary driver: extra/nvidia 375.26-1 [installed] |

Any difference if you use only one screen ? |

Yes indeed, when I am using only one screen, I do not have this issue. It stays smooth...

Maybe this is (still) the KDE multi-screen woes: https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/ ... lasma-5-7/ Looking KSCreen bug reports from the KDE bug tracker: https://bugs.kde.org/ Hmm - something to try - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354163#c4 :
Better ? if worse: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354163#c5 |

General KDE lock screen testing
Plasma wallpaper plugins can be tested as lock greeters with the command:

It is worst. I was not able to login anymore. I have ticked it again. I will try to test the plugin with kscreenlocker_greet. I am not sure however to see anything noticeable. |

No, it probably doesn't show useful information for you problem. It is for those who want to test KDE lock screen greeter. It will tell if the lock screen greeter is working at all. The other option is to test the greeters with the 'real lock screen' and then, if the greeter is not working, unlock with the locking manager:
i.e ,with the root powers, unlocking all:
The best advice I can give to you problem is to examine the KDE bug reports of the multi display problems... |
